Contacted La Rochelle town hall re birth records for Alexandre Boret born circa 1829 son of Pierre Boret a blacksmith. They couldn't find him.
He gives La Rachelle (I presume an enumerator error) as his place of birth on a UK census. Am wondering if he's just given the nearest large town. Anyone got any ideas where else I could try to find him.
Have also tried the Maritime Museum at La Rochelle as he worked as a rigger but they hold no personal records. I haven't a clue as to where I would look for the French equivalent of a seamans ticket or even if there are such things. Could anyone give me some tips as I'm stumped.
Many thanks.

Sorry for delay I've been off line for a while. Yes I am related to the Borets, it was my grandmothers maiden name.

My grandfather was also a Boret. He moved to England from France and travelled round the world as a tobacco trader.

How interesting. My GGgrandfather was a Boret who settled in London after traveling the world on Tea and Opium Clippers. He came from Ile de Re in LaRochelle and I believe that his father was a Blacksmith . Do you think they could possibly be related? I don't think there were too many Boret's in France. What was your grandfathers first name?

Hi, sorry for not replying earlier, but I deleted the other email in error. My dad has passed away so I don't really have any other information. The best person to ask is my dad's brother Nigel Gerald Boret. You can contact him at www.fleetline.co.uk/contacts

My grand father was called Frank Arthur Boret. I don't have a lot of information so I am trying to research him. I know my father has two half brothers and two half sisters. There is only one half brother still alive.
